When you thought it couldn't get any worse....

There is no shortage of bad news about the British NHS. This piece provides a practical insight into how "administration, targets and regulations have made NHS care 'worse than five years ago'." It is written by James Bartholemew after discussions with a consultant. It really is an eye-opener. Does anybody know if their systems have parallels with NZ?

Item 5 is certainly something that I believe has been fostered here. Our tax dollars are being soaked up by an expansion in bureaucrat numbers. This does three things:
1. Absorbs unemployment statistics.2. Demonstrates more taxes are required to maintain services.
3. Maintains services in a "barefoot and pregnant" dependency role.
All three "require" continued support for a socialist Government.
All three "require" spending on essential services before tax cuts.
All three "require" a gullible electorate.
